Wow–that is very, very cool! I wonder when that was made? I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Wow! That’s a great score! Bet it cleans up beautiful. Remember to show pictures.

I wish I had an overmantle for my fireplace. It’s gorgeous.

Hi! I’ve been reading your site for about a year now– thanks for putting it up! We’re about to buy an old house in Bellevue, and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a really good house inspector who knows about the delights and follies of old houses. Thanks for any help you can provide!

We didn’t really have much luck with house inspectors. We rely on the knowledge of my life-long friend Jim (now of Reveal) and my poet-carpenter friend Clay for for clarifying whats what.

If you’re moving to Bellevue, check out North Richmond News (if you haven’t already). It is a good resource for the area.
